<p class="mw-empty-elt">
</p><p>A <b>software framework</b> is <a href="Software" title="Software">software</a> that provides reusable, generic functionality which developers can extend or customize to create complete solutions. It offers an <a href="Abstraction_(computer_science)" title="Abstraction (computer science)">abstraction layer</a> over lower-level code and infrastructure, allowing developers to focus on implementing <a href="Business_logic" title="Business logic">business logic</a> rather than building common functionality from scratch. Generally, a framework is intended to enhance productivity by allowing developers to focus on satisfying business requirements rather than reimplementing generic functionality.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Frameworks often include support programs, <a href="Compiler" title="Compiler">compilers</a>, <a href="Software_development_kit" title="Software development kit">software development kits</a>, <a href="Code_library" class="mw-redirect" title="Code library">code libraries</a>, toolsets, and <a href="Application_programming_interface" class="mw-redirect" title="Application programming interface">APIs</a> that integrate various <a href="Software_component" title="Software component">components</a> within a larger <a href="Software_platform" class="mw-redirect" title="Software platform">software platform</a> or environment.
</p><p>Unlike a <a href="Library_(computing)" title="Library (computing)">library</a>, where user code controls the program's <a href="Control_flow" title="Control flow">control flow</a>, a framework implements <a href="Inversion_of_control" title="Inversion of control">inversion of control</a> by dictating the overall structure and calling user code at predefined extension points (e.g., through <a href="Template_method_pattern" title="Template method pattern">template methods</a> or <a href="Hook_(computer_programming)" class="mw-redirect" title="Hook (computer programming)">hooks</a>). Frameworks also provide default behaviours that work out-of-the-box, structured mechanisms for <a href="Extensibility" title="Extensibility">extensibility</a>, and a fixed core that accepts extensions (e.g., plugins or subclasses) without direct modification.
</p><p>A framework differs from an application that can be extended—such as a <a href="Web_browser" title="Web browser">web browser</a> via an <a href="Browser_extension" title="Browser extension">extension</a> or a video game via a <a href="Video_game_modding" title="Video game modding">mod</a>—in that it is intentionally incomplete scaffolding designed to be completed through its extension points while following specific architectural patterns. For example, a team using a <a href="Web_framework" title="Web framework">web framework</a> to develop a banking website can focus on writing banking business logic rather than handling low-level details like <a href="HTTP_request" class="mw-redirect" title="HTTP request">web request</a> processing or <a href="State_management" title="State management">state management</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Comparison_with_libraries">Comparison with libraries</h2></div>
<p>Software frameworks differ from standard libraries in key ways:
</p>
<ul><li><a href="Inversion_of_control" title="Inversion of control">Inversion of control</a>: In a library, user code controls the program's flow and calls library functions as needed. In a framework, the framework controls the flow and calls user code at specific points, often via the <a href="Template_method_pattern" title="Template method pattern">Template Method Pattern</a>.</li>
<li>Default behaviour: Frameworks provide pre-implemented functionality (e.g., standard features or workflows) that can be used as-is or customized within a predefined structure. Libraries, by contrast, require user code to assemble and configure functionality.</li>
<li>Structured <a href="Extensibility" title="Extensibility">extensibility</a>: Frameworks enable new features or altered behaviour through structured mechanisms such as hooks, callbacks, or APIs. Libraries allow extensibility but without predefined integration points, relying on user code for integration.</li>
<li><a href="Open/closed_principle" class="mw-redirect" title="Open/closed principle">Open-closed principle</a>: The framework's core logic is generally fixed, allowing extensions (e.g., plugins or subclasses) but not modification of the framework itself.</li></ul>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Pattern">Pattern</h2></div>
<p>According to Pree,<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> software frameworks consist of <i>frozen spots</i> and <i>hot spots</i>. <i>Frozen spots</i> define the overall architecture of a software system, that is to say its basic components and the relationships between them. These remain unchanged (frozen) in any instantiation of the application framework. <i>Hot spots</i> represent those parts where the programmers using the framework add their own code to add the functionality specific to their own project.
</p><p>The necessary functionality can be implemented by using the <a href="Template_method_pattern" title="Template method pattern">Template Method Pattern</a> in which the <i>frozen spots</i> are known as invariant methods and the <i>hot spots</i> are known as variant or hook methods. The invariant methods in the superclass provide default behaviour while the hook methods in each subclass provide custom behaviour.
</p><p>When developing a concrete software system with a software framework, developers utilize the hot spots according to the specific needs and requirements of the system. Software frameworks rely on the <a href="Hollywood_Principle" class="mw-redirect" title="Hollywood Principle">Hollywood Principle</a>: "Don't call us, we'll call you."<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This means that the user-defined classes (for example, new subclasses) receive messages from the predefined framework classes. Developers usually handle this by implementing <a href="Superclass_(computer_science)" class="mw-redirect" title="Superclass (computer science)">superclass</a> <a href="Abstract_method" class="mw-redirect" title="Abstract method">abstract methods</a>.

<p>One potential downside of using a framework is that it adds to the size of a program, a phenomenon termed <a href="Code_bloat" title="Code bloat">code bloat</a>. This can be exacerbated by using multiple, sometimes competing, frameworks in the same codebase.
</p><p>Learning how to use a framework can be substantial. The intended efficiencies of using the framework may be outweighed by the cost to learn it; especially for a framework that is new to the development staff. However, once a framework is learned, development team velocity may increase for future work.
</p><p>Some claim that the most effective frameworks evolve from <a href="Code_refactoring" title="Code refactoring">re-factoring</a> an existing solution rather than from green-field development; such as a generic one-size-fits-all framework developed by third parties for general purposes.
